We are delighted to welcome the Great Tapestry of Scotland to Stirling Castle as part of its national tour. It is officially the largest embroidered tapestry in the world and tells the story of Scotland’s history.

The young Mary, Queen of Scots, Mirrin Follan, aged four, is pictured hanging her Christmas stocking at the Â£12m newly refurbished Palace at Stirling Castle, to launch Historic Scotland’s Christmas celebrations. Highlights of the Christmas programme include a Stewart Christmas to be held at Stirling Castle on Sunday 11th December from 12:30 – 3:30 pm when visitors will be able to step back in time to the period of Mary Queen of Scots and find out what Christmas would have been like in the Royal Stewart Court in the 16th Century.
